Lawyer Javed Awan said the court order reinstated 16 female health workers and one male worker who were suspended by a government health department for not informing authorities about Dr Shakil Afridi’s fake vaccination campaign.
Dr Afridi had been working with the CIA for years before the Bin Laden raid, providing intelligence on militant groups in Pakistan’s tribal region. He was sentenced to 33 years in prison last year in May for his links to a banned militant group.
Awan further said the health workers were following orders from senior health officials and were innocent of any wrongdoing.
“The court has done justice to them,” he said.

Now the outgoing govt has no fear of the army takeover so there is no need to keep these innocent people out of work. On your way out it would be nice to publish the Abbottabad Commission Report otherwise it would be like Rehman report and never come out. The establishment is expert in keeping the facts from the naive Pakistani public.
Fake workers hired by a puppet government in charge of a failed state looking for a mythical terrorist. Next you are going to tell me that we are not living in a matrix.
